Tracy Lawrence - Paint Me A Birmingham


   (capo 2nd fret)


E = 022100
C#m = x46654
A = x02220
Esus = 022200
B = xx4447


Intro - E - C#m - A - Esus - E


(verse 1)
       E                  A 
He was sittin?there, his brush in hand
B                               E          Esus
Paintin waves as they danced, upon the sand
       E              A 
With every stroke, he brought to life
    B                                   E
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin sky
  A                            B
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
   A                             B
He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything.




(chorus)
                            E
Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
                      C#m
Make it look just the way I planned
                      A 
A little house on the edge of town
                   Bsus    B
Porch goin all the way around
                     E
Put her there in the front yard swing
                     C#m
Cotton dress make it, early spring
                       A         Bsus
For awhile she'll be, mine again
             B                  E - C#m - A - E   
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.


(verse 2)
   E         Esus     A 
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
     Bsus           B               E
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
                       A 
Picked up a brush, and said to me
    Bsus           B                E
Son just in this picture would you like to be
A                             B
I said if there's any way you can
          A                            Bsus-B
Could you paint me back into her arms again.



(chorus)
                            E
Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
                      C#m
Make it look just the way I planned
                      A 
A little house on the edge of town
                   Bsus    B
Porch goin all the way around
                     E
Put her there in the front yard swing
                     C#m
Cotton dress make it, early spring
                       A         Bsus
For awhile she'll be, mine again
             B                  E - C#m - A - E   
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.

A little house on the edge of town
                    C#
Porch goin?all the way around
                    F#
Put he there in the front yard swing

hey palamino great tab. i think however that
the capo is supposed to go on the third
fret. I believe that is how it was played in
his video from his performance at the opry.
thanks again man and it is an awesome job
that you do to help out people like myself that don't know how to tab a song out
-knflyfisher | 3/21/2004
These chords are correct with the recording,
He may have had his guitar tuned a
half step lower than standard tuning:)

you gotta remember they never play it the s
ame live as they do in the studio, When
artist perform live a lot of them tune
down from standard tuning..
-palamin0 | 3/26/2004
i think this tab is correct, but he plays it on the 4th fret in the video.
-zxxpress | 3/31/2004
Anyone tabbed out the intro to this song?
-tyates | 5/25/2004
very good job...very close...but try this...

on the verses, instead of going to a B major chord (A witht the capo....second chord of the verse), go to an G# minor chord (this would be the shape of a F# minor chord, but moved up to frets because of the capo). This is the same with the A chord you have written in the pre-chorus ("I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes...")...it should be the F# minor chord shape there too....good job!
